WWII timeline event

[Devil 505]

but what about eastern front early war? I 16s and Brewsters must fight!

Not that simple, the brew eats up the I16. Yould have to enforce a numerical advantage of at least 2:1 in favor the I16. Remember, I16s did not have the 20mm cannons at this time. Even then, cannons only help when you get behind your enemy.

hmmm we need the yak3 already.
which planes could we use as the beggining of barbarossa?
didn't hungary have some 109E's fighting back early aswell?

hmmm we need the yak3 already. The Yak3 was not introduced until mid June 44, The Yak1 was starting to be introduced when Barborossa was launched. Only 92 were built by then, most were destroyed in the first week.
which planes could we use as the beggining of barbarossa? 109E/F, 110C, ju87, ju88, i16, il2, maybe use the p-39d sa a sub for the yak1.
didn't hungary have some 109E's fighting back early aswell? not until 1942

hmmmm thank you, sir.

A two week war has been found to be a good timeline elsewhere so it's possible that an entire tour would be too long.

The rolling planeset does expose the holes in our current planeset, though.

This is a map I would someday like to see. One that contains all major theatres of the war.




Normally we favor small maps but this one would have to be large. It would also have to be less detailed and way out of scale. You would also have to skew things to get the major countries more or less covered.

For geographic accuracy it would be an abomination.

It would also require a lot of custom tile work to get different vegetation types and such on the same map.

It's possible to build a 30K wall to separate east and west and with a wind downdraft at 28k or so, no one would be able to fly a zero over Germany.

With something like this we could offer more planes at the same time but keep them in battle against their historical adversaries.

It would be even better if we had a 4th country, rooks vs bish in the east and knights vs pawns in the west. That way you would know from the roster who was playing where but without that I guess you would have to look for radar and base flashing to know where the action was.

We could also run a timeline event that encompasses the war as a whole.

It would be a huge effort to build it and I don't have the necessary skills, but maybe someday
